	The areas marked with a wheelchair are the out-of-character camps that are for use by participants with additional ~~accessiblity~~ needs. We have increased the size of the main accessibility camp opposite the Marcher camp this year to try to ensure that there is enough space for everyone. In addition we will try to manage the space to allow participants with accessibility needs who are not stopping on site to park here when they come and go each day. Please let the crew know if you need to camp or park here.		The areas marked with a wheelchair are the out-of-character camps that are for use by participants with additional accessibility needs.

	No vehicles are allowed on site after 6pm on Friday as the game has started by this point. We have created a vehicle drop off point near the main entrance to the League and Navarr camp. This is purely for vehicles that are not driving onto the site, but wish to park as close to the entrance as possible, so that they can unload from here. You must move your vehicle from the drop off point to the main camping/~~partking~~ area once you have finished unloading your vehicle.

==Overview==
This page lists all the details that are specific for this event. There is an additional page with [[event information]] which lists arrival and departure times and similar details that are common for all Empire events.

==COVID==
Please read the [[COVID safety]] carefully to make sure you understand what is required.

Additional safety measures governing operational aspects of this event may be announced on the run-up to the event. We'll continue to work with our dedicated health team, and we'll publish a definitive set of measures as early as possible, based on the identified COVID risks at that point in time.

==IC News==
See the [[385YE Summer Solstice winds of fortune]] and the [[385YE Summer Solstice winds of war|winds of war]] for all the latest in-character developments throughout the Empire. An [[Event schedule|event schedule]] that shows timings of IC activities common to all Empire events is also available. There is also a [[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Imperial_elections|list of upcoming Imperial elections]]

==Battles==
At the event we will be running two large battles, one Saturday morning and one Sunday morning. The large battles will follow the normal rules for [[battles]]; you may only participate in a single battle as your character and you must monster the other battle if you decide to participate in one. The sides for the battles will be chosen by the generals in the [[Muster]] of the [[Imperial Military Council]] on Friday night. Each of the two battles must have at least tbc and at most tbc force weight sent on it.

The Sentinel Gate opens at 11:00 - regardless of whether anyone is ready or not! If you are playing then make sure you arrive in plenty of time before this so your weapons can be checked.

If you are monstering then you need to make your way to the monster area between 09:30 and 10:00 to give us time to get you into costume, made-up and briefed. If you turn up after 10:30 you will be turned away.

The winds of war now provides information about the battle opportunities at the forthcoming event.

{{CaptionedImage|file=2023-1.png|title=Site Map|align=right|width=600}}

==Toilets==
Toilet blocks are marked on the map with a T symbol. The main blocks are the ones near Mhorish, near God, and in the OOC player field adjacent to the crew area. All the larger blocks of toilet and hygiene facilities that are located around the site are split into male, female and gender neutral toilets. All our participants are entitled to use the facilities that they feel most comfortable using. You must not challenge other participants when using the facilities.

==Site Map==
The site map is opposite; the [[camp planner]] for each camp will have their own layout for their camp, showing where all the tents they know about are to be pitched. If you are bringing an IC tent, please make sure you contact your camp planner before the event to let them know what you are bringing. If you do not know where you are supposed to be camping, then please speak to the [[camp planner]] on arrival at your nation's camp.

==Accessibility Camps==
The areas marked with a wheelchair are the out-of-character camps that are for use by participants with additional accessiblity needs. We have increased the size of the main accessibility camp opposite the Marcher camp this year to try to ensure that there is enough space for everyone. In addition we will try to manage the space to allow participants with accessibility needs who are not stopping on site to park here when they come and go each day. Please let the crew know if you need to camp or park here.

There are five disabled toilet facilities, one near monster, one near each accessibility camp and one in the in-character area in the toilet blocks opposite Mhorish.

==Drop Off Point==
No vehicles are allowed on site after 6pm on Friday as the game has started by this point. We have created a vehicle drop off point near the main entrance to the League and Navarr camp. This is purely for vehicles that are not driving onto the site, but wish to park as close to the entrance as possible, so that they can unload from here. You must move your vehicle from the drop off point to the main camping/partking area once you have finished unloading your vehicle.
